Will you be in SF, June 12? Let's meet. @Centriply is bringing linear TV attribution and data driven advanced advertising to San Francisco. We're doing it and we can show you how. Agencies get strategy, planning and extraordinary value by finding audiences using the same Experian audience segments as programmatic and closing the loop on business growth.
We're looking forward to TVOT 2019. It's a conference dedicated to Interactive and Multiplatform Television industry, including delivery, production, business and user experience of interactive TV across multiple platforms and media (smart TV, pay TV, smartphones and other second-screen devices, tablets, social networks, Web, game consoles, VOD, advertising, programming, transmedia "storyworlds", tcommerce, etc.).
Tracey Swedlow brings together senior level attendees from the pay-TV, interactive TV, broadcasting/programming and advertising industries, including consumer electronics manufacturers, pay-TV operators, entrepreneurs, social media companies, brands, technologists, networks, broadcasters, marketers, agencies, producers/creators, investors, designers, developers, storytellers and other stakeholders.
The ITVT editorial team develops the agenda for our TV of Tomorrow Show events through an extensive process with the readership of the ITVT newsletter in order to ensure that each show covers all the issues that are currently of most pressing importance to the industry.
